D.R. Horton recently debuted Esprit, a 105-condo community near the Dublin/Pleasanton BART Station, a location that has become a hotspot for transit-oriented development.

The project features homes of two to four bedrooms ranging from 1,200 to 1,850 square feet. Prices vary from $500,000 to the mid-$600,000s.

The developer expects the units will attract, “primarily well-educated first-time buyers, young single professionals, young families and San Francisco workers who can commute via BART.”

The units will be built over the next two years and feature multi-level floorplans with garages and patios.

The development is within walking distance to BART and other recent nearby apartment developments including Avalon Bay’s Dublin Station and Dublin Station II, a $73 million, 255-unit community that will start leasing units in the next few months.

The project is one of few recent condo offerings in the East Bay, where hundreds of new homes have hit the market in the past few years. Dublin in particular has seen a surge of developments from builders such as KB Home, Standard Pacific Homes, Meritage Homes and Shea Homes.

D.R. Horton has been busy building in Dublin in the past few years with other developments known as Fiorano, Cortona and Veneto, which is still selling units.

D.R. Horton, based in Fort Worth, Texas, is one of the country’s largest home builders. It is building other new home communities in Northern California in Menlo Park, San Bruno, Milpitas and Gilroy.
